Newt Versus Newt
Posted by Christopher Manion on December 31, 2011 06:12 PM
Newt Gingrich wants to horsewhip activist judges, but not the one he's asking to intervene and overturn Virginia's law regarding qualifications for the Republican presidential primary.
This is the classic neocon game of contradiction -- "These are our eternal principles! -- Until they aren't."
Gingrich was too lazy to meet the state's very routine ballot requirements, so now he's going to whine to some judge -- whom he will threaten to subpoena, no doubt, if he loses.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Cuccinelli, who has just announced his intention to run for governor in 2013, stumbled coming out of the gate by siding with Gingrich. Cuccinelli has campaigned in the past as a defender of the Constitution and the Rule of Law -- but not when it comes to cronies, apparently.
